dear ea stop making all ur worlds so american like even the ones that are meant to be inspired by other parts of the world are so so american. bring us attached houses. cramped neighbourhoods. or just houses that dont have an entire football fields worth of space around it. awkward flats above shops and houses that are seperated by alleyways. no matter what my sims feel so fortunate to have such a huge plot of land even if their house is small like its so isolating

thought itd be fun to put edelgard in (vaguely) historical outfits from 1180s-ish, byzantine-ish and the holy roman emperors' coronation regalia lol

shit i forgot to make the funny "im high" post i was too busy talking to my also high roomate about air conditioning all nignt

[squorttle-pox]

please. i need alastor with his hair up so we can see the side of his head. second set of ears or smooth flesh prairie?

I get hating certain political systems and trying to abolish totalitarian regimes but at the same time many of them are so interwoven with our history and society they have become tropes and when I consume media with a setting where the monarchy is absolute and revered then I am playing my part and sucking that princeling off

one thing i love about dead plate is how open the story is for interpretation. it has its timeline and events but because everything happens after rody starts working at the bistro and its out of his control, we dont get to see the inner workings and thoughts of anyone else

i often think about specifically vincent's desire to kill rody. because it feels rather universal that he acted impulsively due to being drunk (it's either killing rody or ruining vincent's life) and the whole "but with you maybe" makes it sound like vincent had the sudden idea, but he slices rody up in best served cold. he hid the knife from rody during the party. he was planning on eating, or at least killing rody, the day before.

sure he could've still acted impulsively, especially since we don't know Why the party ended. was there an emergency and vincent saw his chance? did vincent shoo them off just to get the opportunity to kill rody? is the silent scary staring when they wave goodbye vincent hesitating, or is it him seeing his chance? he spends rody's last 2 days Staring at rody Constantly through the peephole from his office, surely there must've been something going on in his thoughts???

the main idea i have is that it was a thought in the back of vincent's head, and that day 6 was supposed to be rody's death, but he hesitated because rody showed concern and care. hence when rody quits, vincent is shocked and keeps reminding rody he can come back, because he wasnt Done with him

why vincent wants to eat rody has a bunch other ideas i cant be bothered to write down at 9 am, but we also have the whole cooking with love thing. iirc, rody is the only one who Complains that vincent's food isnt made with love. in fact, vincent's snob buddy Praises his food for being self-absorbed, and i cant remember vincent mentioned people had a problem with the lack of love, only that it was an observation. but with vincent's perfectionism, why Wouldn't you specifically target the guy who basically calls your food bitter to your face and who appears so deeply in love to make sure he gets to taste his own love?

vincent is obsessed with perfectionism, because cooking is all he has and he cannot ensure on his own that its perfect. he relies on others' opinions on his work. rody is obsessed with the idea of love, because he doesnt understand that love is about both parties and not just the other. he thinks he's showing love by sacrificing himself

because what is doing something special for one specific person, if not love?

sometimes ill see a post endorsing the locked tomb and think this is worded in the exact kind of way that would have flat out stopped me from reading the books

can you share your theory on the premature aging please i am really interested

Ok so! This is gonna be kinda nerdy - jargon translations at the bottom.

One of my 'how quirks work genetically' theories is that the quirk virus made germline mutations way more common - tanking the fertility rate bc some of the mutations were incompatible with life, but a a lot of those other mutations led to weird hair, skin and eye colours along with quirks. In real life viruses don't do this directly, some but can incorporate themselves into genomes in fragile places that can, indirectly, increase mutation rates. Also in real life these mutations just give you cancer, but anyway.

Another driver of mutation is stress - like real actual 'my life is a mess' stress, but specifically in this case I'm talking about oxidative stress - this can be caused via aforementioned real actual stress, lifestyle problems, immune system responses, etc. Normal metabolism also induces oxidative stress - OFA uses a *lot* of energy - even if it isn't all from calories, it's still got to be used like ATP!

Basically, you get OFA, and a quirk? Your body is mutation central.

Now you may be thinking - hang on, didn't you just say that all those mutations give you cancer? Where is the aging coming in? And honestly fair enough. Oxidative damage is believed to play some part in aging, but not the main part and it wouldn't explain why being quirkless protects you from it.

The answer is lamins - the weird part of the cell you never think about. Lamins are proteins that form a sort of mesh that keeps your cell nuclei nice and round, allowing for easy cell division and nice neat DNA organisation. Progeria is a rare disease caused by a single nucleotide mutation in the gene coding for the processing of lamins, causing them to fold incorrectly, leading to misshapen nuclei. The symptoms of this disease can be simplified to fatal accelerated and premature aging. These lamins and the associated abnormal nuclei can also be found in, unsurprisingly, the elderly (well, in everyone, but the quantity goes up with age).

This disease is typically a germline cell mutation itself, but now we get to play with the quirk virus (and also fudge genetics a touch). If the quirk virus inserted itself near the lamin gene, the chances of mutation are boosted - now, normally those mutated cells would just get cleared away by the immune system and everyone is happy. But, factor in the massive amounts of oxidative stress OFA causes on the already fragile region of DNA and we start accumulating these mutations in the lamin genes all over the place, causing that rapid and fatal aging seen in OFA wielders that have quirks.

jargon translations: germline mutation: mutation within germ cells - egg or sperm - that can pass on to your children. oxidative stress: you know how oxygen rusts metal? wild over simplification, but something a lot like that happens inside you. antioxidants (eaten and produced by the body) are 'easier to rust' and use up all of the reactive oxygen to keep your cells safe. ATP: adenosine triphosphate - the food you eat eventually ends up as this through a long and convoluted collection of pathways, and its the way your cells can actually make use of it. nucleotide: one of the 4 letters your DNA is made up of - in its simplest form, your DNA is just two matching strands made up of a bunch of these letters which your body reads like a computer reads binary code.

sources: i'm not citing them because i do enough of that in university, but studies, my course content and also wikipedia because sometimes you just need to make sure something you though you knew was right or not. you also do not actually need to trust me because this is just a fan theory about an anime, it just needs to sound good. to my knowledge i'm correct though, but have wildly over simplified a lot
